Thank God for your witness and apologetical work Father, Orthodoxy is growing and they’ll do whatever they can do to keep their flocks.

The final beatitude comes to mind... May this man come to The Light and be one with the Body of Christ before the final judgement. Never stop praying for those both inside, and outside the Church brothers and sisters. We may just be lowly sinners, but the Lord inclines His ear to our meager supplications all the same!

May God forgive him and bless him with the true knowledge and fullness of our beautiful faith, I believe that through Father Jonathan's edification his heart can be touched and he may come around to understand us a bit better! Let us pray for him together, and forgive him as Father said in his part 2 episode. Amen.

God be with you, Father. May Matt be illumined by the true faith, and may the Heavens rejoice at such a sweet repentance!

Out of all the lies, I think the most appalling was when he likened us to other religions. Saying that we believe that Jesus is not God, but merely a prophet. That's one I've never heard us being accused of.

I really hope they are not deliberately misstating what we believe. To boast loudly and accuse Orthodoxy with ignorance is probably just as bad, to be honest. This is precisely why Protestants need to go to actual church and be guided by spiritual Fathers… no humility or even shame. Adam and Eve at least had the decency to hide their nakedness but they lacked the humility to repent.

I thought Samual Farag's dramatic attack on Orthodoxy on American Gospel's channel was bad.... until I watched Matt Powell. Farag is still holding Matt's beer.

I watched you're review of the "sermon" he did on it and wow it was bad. All you have to do is attend one liturgy and most of his objections are just washed away as falsehoods

This is gonna get interesting to see the Orthodox getting dramatic over popular Christians.

Lord have mercy I believe Matt has found himself in a state of denial. I believe he is less intent on deceiving his listeners & moreso deceiving himself. I mean, if you are trying to convince others, I wouldn’t think lying about easily verifiable doctrine is the way to go about it. But if your audience is you? You get to dictate what you want to genuinely comprehend. Pray for Matt, no matter how he seems to slander our church with malicious intent, it is more likely he is deceiving himself.

Is he a Calvinist? Those guys are sometimes pretty aggressive.

Internet conflict is so Orthodox and edifying to our faith. Thanks so much for progressing in such a truly useless conversation. You’re not defending Orthodoxy, you’re casting pearls before swine.

Father please avoid associating this guy with all of Protestantism. That is not fair to the protestestants who don’t straw man. There is plenty of Orthodox who straw man Catholic and Protestant claims as well. You have great content and I do not want to see you settle for the same type of polemics and tactics that others fall into in reaction to others who straw man and misrepresent.

As far as I know @TheTransfiguredLife’s Fr Jonathan will be talking to Matt, and I hope to be involved as well. Sadly, Matt continues to propagate false witness against us. See the difference between Orthodoxy and Protestantism? We address their actual tenets and misconceptions of us, they respond by crafting strawmen and lying. I will be also refuting @MattPowellOFFICIAL in his latest slander against our faith. Hopefully he will man up and engage in a fruitful discussion with us instead of lying to save face.
